Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is conduct that causes harassment, alarm, or distress to individuals or communities. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Verbal abuse or intimidation
- Alcohol related anti social behaviour
- Neighbour disputes impacting quality of life
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council and South Wales Police are committed to working together to prevent and address ASB, ensuring communities feel safe and supported.
Our Approach to Tackling ASB
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council and South Wales Police take a partnership based approach to tacking ASB. This includes:
- Supporting victims of ASB
- Encouraging community engagement and reporting
- Early intervention and prevention measures
- Working with housing providers, youth services, and support agencies
- Using enforcement powers where necessary (e.g., ASB warnings, Community Protection Notices, ASB Injunctions and other legal actions)
The aim is always to resolve issues at the earliest opportunity while protecting those affected.
Reporting Anti-Social Behaviour
The RCT ASB Team cannot take reports of anti social behaviour directly from members of the public, all reports of ASB must be investigated by the relevant agency in the first instance and referred to the team through official channels.
If you are experiencing or witnessing ASB, it is important to report every incident. Reports can be made via -
South Wales Police
Call 101 - Non emergency situations
Call 999 - In an emergency situation, if there is a risk to life or serious crime in progress
SWP Website - Report through the South Wales Police ‘Report ASB’ tool at www.south-wales.police.uk
Providing accurate information, such as times, dates, and details of incidents, helps agencies respond effectively.
